We encourage you to join in with the wonderful residents for some fun times and festivities that will become a feature of your retirement through social contact on a regular basis and become part of your normal everyday life while still enjoying the freedom to do the things you love.
The community lodge is used by our residents on a daily basis for various activities and events. Above the community lodge, we have six independent 2 bedroom living apartments.

Our library contains a range of books and options to keep the mind active and our swimming pool and spa join the private gym for a more physical workout.
